Summary: Drabbley tag for the as yet unfinished sequel to
Red Skies Every year, on the Vigil of Candlemas, Merlin went to the chapel and lit a candle in honor of St. Brigit. He lit her flame and knelt, and left a brass ring by the flickering light. He said a silent prayer, and then he returned to Arthur's chambers. There, he lit another candle, and another, until the room was hot and close with flickering golden light, making Arthur gleam gold like an idol of olden days. He knelt before his golden idol, and strong tanned hands wound in his raven hair. He knelt, and smiled up at his Lord.
